Both Rita and Durandal exude an urge to devour him, yet he remains unaffected. Is it possible that the stronger one's adaptability to Honkai energy, the deeper the impact?

Xia Yuan cleared his throat, trying to calm the two down.

"Cough cough... Rita, Del, wake up! The pollen in the space is interfering with your thinking." His voice echoed inside the melon, but it sounded weak and powerless.

Rita suppressed the desire deep in her eyes that yearned to possess him and spoke:

"Mr. Xia Yuan, Lady Durandal, please forgive Rita's loss of composure, but in her current state, Rita is afraid she cannot continue to control her impulse. Lady Durandal, can Rita ask you for a favor? Could you please knock Rita unconscious?"

She was slightly out of breath, but her words revealed her trust in Durandal.

She had already inhaled too much pollen from the flower bud and had begun to unconsciously embrace Mr. Xia Yuan. She was on the verge of losing control of her desires at any moment, but she did not want to create a rift between her and Yulandel because of the hypnosis of Mr. Xia Yuan, so she had no choice but to adopt this strategy.

Durandal seemed somewhat guilty.

Her current condition is not much better than Rita's; she's just barely hanging on.

With Rita present, she could rely on her as an anchor to support herself, but if Rita were knocked unconscious, leaving only herself and Mr. Xia Yuan, she would probably lose her last shred of reason.

Her gaze shifted between Xia Yuan and Rita, as if she were seriously considering something.

“I’m sorry, Rita, I can’t agree to that… As things stand, we can’t stay here for too long because the pollen in the space is interfering with our thinking. We’re high up here, so if we just break open the flower bud, the airflow generated by the attack can completely disperse the pollen.”

Before she loses her mind.

It's safer to disperse the pollen than to knock Rita unconscious.

Xia Yuan supported the maid beside him. He could feel her rapid breathing, and it seemed that they could not delay any longer.

He was observing the internal structure of the melon when he noticed a faint ray of light seeping in through a crack in front of the vines that were wrapped around the inner wall. His eyes lit up; that was undoubtedly a breakthrough point.

Great, his friend is saved.

“Dale, there’s a gap in the vines over there,” Xia Yuan said, pointing to the thin vine.

She walked over first in the direction Mr. Xia Yuan pointed. She carefully observed the gap, stretched out her hand slightly, and gently touched it without disturbing it. She could feel the flow of air from the outside.

“Mr. Xia Yuan, Rita, please step back. I will disperse this pollen right away.”

Durandal took a deep breath and charged forward, repeatedly striking the weak spot with the Black Abyss White Flower in her hand. However, the vine only trembled slightly and did not break.

She couldn't help but increase her strength, even mobilizing the power of her Star Armor.

"Stars, gather here!"

Under Durandal's relentless attacks, the gap gradually widened, eventually managing to create an opening large enough for everyone to escape. However, the altitude was simply too high, so they could only temporarily disperse the pollen and then contact the bishop to dispatch a ship to bring Mr. Xia Yuan and Rita back to the ground.

But before she could turn around and share the good news with Mr. Xia Yuan...

As if enraged by Durandal's actions, countless slender vines suddenly attacked her from behind.

"Dale, watch out behind you!"

But Xia Yuan's reminder came too late.

They seemed to have their own instincts; the slender tendrils tightly wrapped around Durandal's body and firmly fixed her to the center of the flower bud, while the gap that had been torn open was healing itself.

The group was trapped inside again, and the pollen continued to spread.

Xia Yuan helped Rita to her side. "Lady Durandal, are you alright?"

"Rita, I'm fine."

She shook her head, even though she was now entangled in mid-air by the vines.

They didn't seem to have any intention of harming her; they were simply restricting her movements. As a result, they couldn't save themselves and could only wait for Bronya and the others to arrive from the outside in time.

"Could it be that the small invention developed by the doctor reacted in some special way with the remaining Honkai energy in the farm, leading to this change?" Xia Yuan examined the vines covering Durandal's body, where the pollen was noticeably denser than in other areas.

"If we follow Mr. Xia Yuan's logic, I think we are currently inside a Honkai Beast."

Chapter 764 She still failed to uphold her bottom line.

I wonder if His Holiness the Bishop would still like to eat a giant bitter gourd with its own consciousness?

At that time...

I just hope this bitter gourd doesn't bounce around in Theresa's belly.

He shook his head with a wry smile, dismissing the absurd thought in his mind. What time is it now? Instead of worrying about whether His Holiness the Bishop will be able to eat bitter melon, he should worry about his own personal safety first.

Xia Yuan felt the maid's arms tightly wrapped around his waist.

An unprecedented experience flowed from Rita's palm, continuously penetrating through her clothes and stirring his heart.

He knew very well that if he didn't take action soon... and continued to let Rita provoke him like this, he would probably be doomed before long.

His gaze fell on Durandal, who was entwined with vines.

While the maid beside him still retained a shred of reason, he tried to see if he could free Durandal from the vines.

Xia Yuan cautiously approached the vines.

He could feel the vines responding to his touch. The vines gently rubbed against his palm, as if inviting him and treating him as their master. They pointed with their vines at Durandal, who was entangled in mid-air, as if inviting him to enjoy her.

"Are these vines trying to package Durandal as a gift for him?!" Could it be because he planted those bitter gourd seeds and mistook him for his parents?

Meanwhile, during the contact just now.

He seemed to have established some kind of connection with these vines, as if they had heard his thoughts. The vines that were wrapped around Durandal gradually receded at this moment and took the initiative to put down the [gift].

He suddenly had an idea.

If they can communicate, perhaps they can use these vines to send him, Durandal, and Rita to the ground.

But the vines didn't listen to Xia Yuan. Instead, they pointed at Durandal, who was the "gift," as if to tell him that he could only leave after he had fully enjoyed the gift.

The vines quietly receded, leaving the pollen-filled central area to everyone.

Durandal's body slowly descended to the ground, a faint blush remaining on her cheeks, clearly indicating that the pollen had begun to take effect. Xia Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to carefully examine her current condition.

"Dale, are you alright?" His voice carried a hint of worry.

He examined it carefully.

They want to find out what those vines did to Durandal.

Her cheeks were already flushed red from the close contact with Mr. Xia Yuan.

"I...I'm fine, it's just that I failed at the last minute and couldn't get rid of the pollen." Durandal's expression was full of apology. If she hadn't dropped Dr. Ai's invention in the field, this accident wouldn't have happened.

She tried to close her hands, but found that she couldn't.

The vines that had been wrapped around her seemed to have done something to her, rendering her completely powerless. She could barely even clench her fist. Now, she was just like an ordinary person, utterly unable to rescue Mr. Xia Yuan from thousands of meters in the air.

"It's okay, Dale, you've done your best. We can wait here for Duck and Mei to come to our rescue."

Xia Yuan comforted him.

Durandal felt a wave of powerlessness, a feeling she rarely experienced, even when fighting against the Honkai. But Mr. Xia Yuan's words of comfort made her feel a little better. Apart from her adoptive father, no one had ever touched the top of her head before.

Right now, all they can do is wait for outside help, but can she and Rita really hold out until then?

Durandal felt uncertain.

At this point, high in the clouds, she has no better option.

To mitigate the impact of pollen.

At Durandal's suggestion, everyone decided to find a place to sit down and try to remain calm. Xia Yuan sat cross-legged in a corner, but he could feel Rita's gaze falling on him from time to time, which made his breathing more and more rapid.

Half an hour later—

Durandal quietly opened her eyes, her inner turmoil preventing her from calming down.

So she secretly observed her adjutant and Mr. Xia Yuan. Rita had her back to her, unsure if he could hold back. Mr. Xia Yuan seemed to be the same as always, not affected by the pollen too much.

"I really want Mr. Xia Yuan to keep stroking the top of my head... Hmm?"

Durandal couldn't believe it; she had actually instinctively wanted to move towards Mr. Xia Yuan. She felt ashamed of her actions. Rita was still trying her best, and as the captain, she should set an example.

One hour later—

Under the influence of pollen, she still couldn't help but sit down next to Mr. Xia Yuan. The longing in her heart grew stronger, hoping that he could help her calm her heart palpitations. Looking at his lips, she subconsciously leaned forward.

"Dale...Dale? Hmm..."

Yulandel's sudden kiss caught Xia Yuan completely off guard; he hadn't even had time to prepare. Had he been forcibly kissed by Yulandel?!

Rita faced the wall, her hands stroking her lower abdomen, her fingertips poking at the small bumps that were emerging on her belly, trying to calm the children's restlessness. The children longed for their father's care, and she also wanted to receive Mr. Xia Yuan's attention.

Unfortunately, Lady Durandal was still there, and she didn't want to create any distance between them, so she could only try her best to restrain herself.

"Hoo... Ugh...."

The strange sound that suddenly came from beside her aroused Rita's curiosity, and she couldn't help but look towards the source of the sound. She saw her captain lying on top of Mr. Xia Yuan, forcibly demanding something from him.

"Lady Durandal?"

She hadn't expected that it would be Lady Durandal who couldn't hold back first, but for Rita, it was good news to celebrate. She covered her flushed cheeks and didn't intend to disturb the two of them. Instead, she quietly waited for the right moment.

After our lips parted...

Durandal regained a sliver of consciousness.

Looking at Xia Yuan, whom she had pinned beneath her, she felt an overwhelming sense of shame. She had actually done such an outrageous thing to Mr. Xia Yuan while she was out of her mind, which made her feel so ashamed that she wanted to disappear into a crack in the ground.

Without his consent, he actually kissed Mr. Xia Yuan so rudely!

No wonder her cheapskate father is always worried about her. How could she possibly find a partner if she can't even keep her principles?

Just then, Rita quietly appeared behind her.

Chapter 765 Serving Together?!

Rita gently blew a breath into her ear, "Lady Durandal, how are you feeling now?"

Durandal's body trembled involuntarily, her face flushed red as if steam were rising from it, and she stammered out, "My lips feel a little sweet, and my body isn't as hot as it was before."

"Rita...Rita?!"

Durandal was like a frightened bird, her earlobes already bright red. Looking at the adjutant behind her, she realized that she had clearly said she would supervise him, but she herself had stolen from him.

At that moment, she was like a timid little ostrich.

She had absolutely no confidence in facing her adjutant. The most disappointing thing was that she herself failed to uphold her bottom line and crossed the line. She couldn't even do that herself, so what right did she have to restrain Rita?

Rita smiled slightly.

From now on, even if Lady Durandal already knows about her hypnotizing Mr. Xia Yuan, based on her understanding of Lady Durandal, the other party will definitely not reveal her secret to Mr. Xia Yuan again.

Of course, this is not important, since Mr. Xia Yuan may have already noticed something.

She gazed tenderly at her current master, as if looking at an incredibly delicious delicacy, and said softly, "Mr. Xia Yuan, will you help Rita alleviate the effects of the pollen, just as you did for Lady Durandal?"

Xia Yuan looked at the elegant maid in front of him, who was charming and touching.

He seemed to have no reason to refuse; he couldn't let Rita be exposed to pollen forever, could he? That wouldn't be good for her health.

"Lady Durandal, you don't mind, do you?"

There was a deeper meaning in Rita's eyes.

"No... I don't mind."

She kept her head down, not daring to look at her adjutant.

"Lady Durandal, you surely wouldn't mind serving Mr. Xia Yuan alongside Rita, would you?"

"I don't mind..."

Consciousness was like a chaotic mess, and Durandal blurted it out unconsciously.

But she quickly realized what she had just said. Her cheeks had never been so flushed. She hurriedly explained, "Wait, Rita, that's not what I meant."

But her adjutant gave her a meaningful look.

She realized she had been tricked by Rita, but she had spoken the words herself, and hoped that Mr. Xia Yuan would not misunderstand. She subconsciously began to observe Mr. Xia Yuan's reaction, but her view was blocked by Rita's back.

Without Durandal's restraint, the maid readily threw herself into her master's arms.

"It is Rita's honor to serve Mr. Xia Yuan alongside Lady Durandal."

"Um... please, Rita, stop talking." Her inner thoughts were far more complex than her outward expression; she was so shy she just wanted to disappear into a crack in the wall.

Although they were supposed to serve together, Durandal didn't participate at all. Like a cute little ostrich, she stood to the side, not daring to raise her head. Even the slightest breeze could make her dizzy.

The sound of Rita and Mr. Xia Yuan kissing came from beside her.
